New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; who conceived and brought forth Cain, saying: I have gotten a man through God.
|
1 Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man."
|
|
2 And again she brought forth his brother Abel. And Abel was a shepherd, and Cain a husbandman.
|
2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil.
|
|
3 And it came to pass after many days, that Cain offered, of the fruits of the earth, gifts to the Lord.
|
3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD.
|
|
4 Abel also offered of the firstlings of his flock, and of their fat: and the Lord had respect to Abel, and to his offerings.
|
4 But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,
|
|
5 But to Cain and his offerings he had no respect: and Cain was exceeding angry, and his countenance fell.
|
5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
|
|
6 And the Lord said to him: Why art thou angry? and why is thy countenance fallen?
|
6 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?
